Ukraine's Official Submission to the Academy Awards

“Riveting. A fearfully powerful feature. Mr. Vasyanovych’s approach is literally and figuratively visionary.” – Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal

“Critic’s Pick! Vasyanovych’s style is informed by both Kubrick and early Jim Jarmusch.” – Glenn Kenny, The New York Times

“Dazzling, strange, tragic, comic, touching and eventually optimistic. Masterful.” – Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times
